{"Image DocumentName": "Defining Blended Learning", "Image ImageDescription": "Blended Learning has been defined as a combination or mixing of at least four different methodologies: Applying different forms of instructional methods (Classroom, e-Learning, collaboration, simulations, etc.) Combining delivery technology (Internet, CD-ROM, etc.) Mixing teaching approaches (behavioral, cognitive and constructive) Integrating formal learning activities with actual job activities. Objective: to expand the participants definition of blended learning. Blended learning can have many definitions. Let\u2019s discuss four of them. Usually it is defined as the mixing of e-Learning with classroom training. This is perhaps the most common definition of blended learning. The definition then expands to include the combination of delivery technology methods\u2026 mostly using the Internet. The definition also includes the blending of different teaching approaches that mix a wider range of learning theory to suit the application. And finally, blended learning integrates formal learning activities with job work activities. Today we intend to define blended learning at a higher context\u2026 blending formal and informal learning. blend\u00b7ed learn\u00b7ing v. 1. To combine or mix modes of web-based technology (e.g., live virtual classroom, self-paced instruction, collaborative learning, streaming video, audio, and text) to accomplish an educational goal. 2. To combine various pedagogical approaches (e.g., constructivism, behaviorism, cognitivism) to produce an optimal learning outcome with or with out instructional technology. 3. To combine any form of instructional technology (e.g., videotape, CD-ROM, web-based training, film) with face-to-face instructor-led training. 4. To mix or combine instructional technology with actual job tasks in order to create a harmonious effect of learning and working.
